Twingo handbrake cables. Will they fit the wind ?

[Jim smith]

Hi members...   I have put a deposit on my first wind today... the garage that has it is waiting on handbrake cables.  Apparently been on back order since early December from renault.  So they then ordered direct from another place in France . Maybe coming this week ..  they went through other avenues Apparently but all saying out of stock.. so I went on ebay tonight and found handbrake cables listed under twingo/ wind model year 2010/12. So obviously twingo cables must fit... just not sure on the quality as they are alot cheaper than oem and some other aftermarket like auto doc. I just want a backup plan so I can tell them to order some twingo ones to get the car done . They have fitted new springs discs pads and waiting on cables to mot it..

@Jason Hammond can you answer this as a previous Twingo owner.

I can confirm the twingo cables are the same , but be aware if buying off ebay as I had a right handed cable that didn't fit , it was to short. The cable was a first line make . The left side a borg & beck fitted fine. Renault cables have now come back into stock at Renault parts direct so one has been ordered for the right. Just pay attention to cable lengths and ask the seller for measurements before ordering from eBay. It does appear the renault cables are in short supply.
